Circular manufacturing
in Pokhara.
CIRCLE by OPUS
Furniture and interiors made from recycled engineering plastics.
Instead of treating engineering plastics as low-value waste, we build a local circular manufacturing system that transforms discarded ABS, polycarbonate, and HIPS from electronics into visible, functional design elements for real-world use.
Process
From brief to finished object.
A closed-loop system connecting material recovery with digital fabrication, developed in parallel across sourcing and production.
- 01
Collect
Sourcing engineering plastics from e-waste and scrap networks across Pokhara.
- 02
Process
Sorting, cleaning, shredding, and pelletizing ABS, PC, and HIPS streams.
- 03
Print
Large-format 3D printing into furniture, interiors, and architectural elements.
- 04
Deploy
Delivering durable products to cafes, hotels, and public spaces in Nepal.
From waste to functional products
Collected plastic waste is converted into usable material and directly manufactured through digital fabrication, which enables rapid iteration and customization.
Built with engineering plastics
Recycled ABS, PC, and HIPS can be tuned for strength, cost, and manufacturability. We blend with virgin material when needed and optimize through geometry and infill design.
Turning waste into value
Low-cost raw material becomes high-margin designer furniture and interior products, from translucent PET pieces to large-format structural elements.

Production systems & material research.
Evaluating pellet extrusion, custom large-format printers, and in-house CNC fabrication to build a practical, scalable starting point.
Creating projects built to last.
Targeted support in fabrication space, material sourcing, and market connections will accelerate the transition from concept to a working circular system in Pokhara.
